This hasn't been implemented because what happens when a car comes and sits on top of you? Do you magically spawn out from underneath the car like in IV, that's a little old fashioned in rockstars eyes.

Even Rockstar admits that passive mode is "wildly unrealistic", so why not?

Passive mode is just that...passive. What is so wrong about wanting to enjoy free roam with strangers without worrying about getting killed?

It's fair because you can't kill them either.

Because half-wits will argue that it's free-roam therefore you're free to do as you please i.e. kill randoms who don't want to be in a forced deathmatch. They then ignore the fact that some people want to be left alone whilst they do as they please.

It takes 5 seconds, once you've reached your griefing position, to exit Passive and kill someone. 99% of the time its used as a combat advantage.

I still kill everyone in my Lobby who goes Passive, although I'm not enjoying it as much

You're paranoid dude. I leave everybody alone who is in passive mode and very rarely do they go out of passive and kill me. Oh, and you're a piece of sh*t for killing everybody who is in passive mode. Maybe that's why they kill you.

If they want to be left alone they would have selected a Lobby where they could be alone. They chose to join the rest of us half - wits!

I agree there are other options, but I usually play in free roam, sometimes participating in fights, sometimes doing all kinds of other stuff. I don't want to have to go back to single player and start an invite only session every time I want to change clothes or do something other than killing people.

I admitted I wasn't enjoying it as much.... Oh, and you just made the list

Passive, by definition, is to accept or allow what happens without active response or resistance. Submissive, unassertive, compliant.

But, that's not what Rockstar calls Passive Mode and that's not it's purpose. Passive mode prevents people from shooting you, giving it a tiny bit of 'god mode' and making it counter-productive to passivity. The keywords here are "tiny bit." People can't shoot you, as long as you're on foot. They can still run you over, blow you up, etc. You can get into a car, but that disables passive mode.

Passive mode is very self-defeating and, if anything, only makes you even more vulnerable. It's completely useless.

Why shouldn't we be able to play with others WITHOUT being killed or killing others?
